Today
Things done today:
- Went shopping
- Did a little online business networking
- Computer software repair
- Finished six-month backlog of company tax paperwork that computer problem was holding up
- Confirmed that national socialised healthcare system can indeed give me a third lot of money on top of the other two lots of money I reclaimed recently
- Prototyped half of mode 10/12 for ongoing toy design; realised that I'm going to have all kinds of problems with the last three modes as they all need heads and all the heads need to be stored in the same very limited space. Unless I can find room in the forearms for raptor noggin components... hmm.
- OS update in order to be able to install this year's tax software
- 90 minutes reinstalling video drivers, OS components, and third-party software because of stupid OS update bollixing the monitors
- Did personal taxes
- 30 minutes discovering that the combination of XP SP3, Radeon9200-class video cards, the drivers for said cards and OS, and screen rotation in general is pretty much broken because of driver problems, and thus having to undo 99% of the previous installation. Fortunately, I *had* made a system backup beforehand - I only need to get bitten several dozen times by stupid software before the clue sinks in.
